The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players praise the art style and the unique revive mechanic where dying makes you stronger, but they split on the experience. Some love the challenge and multiple endings, while others find boss fights tedious, the difficulty cheap, and the true ending a chore that demands near-perfect play.
